Oh, I was sending Notifications to Patrons on Item Issue, but suddenly the management have instructed to send notifications on Item Return, Renewal etc as well or they have asked to send Notifications as SMS/WhatsApp in addition to Email, and now i realise that this will ge a pain to implement as i will need to implement this for each patron.

#Idea

Use the SMS Service present in Koha to send Notices to Patrons

SMS Plugin which send Notices as JSON Data to an Endpoint using POST, Endpoint can be yours own endpoint or a service provided by a service provider. Handle the JSON data in Endpoint and send the Notice using your Custom Code or Service Provider to WhatsApp / Telegram / Whatever
